  1. Does FUSE mount automatically adds your files?
  2. Are my files distributed along the p2p network?
  3. Iā€™ve added files before running the daemon, and they donā€™t appear in the WebUI, why?
  4. How can I list all files Iā€™ve already added?
  5. IPNS provides a unique address based on your public key, so when I do ipfs public name <ipfs-hash> Iā€™m publishing a single website at my public address, right? Can I have multiple websites?

  • Does FUSE mount automatically adds your files?

For me fuse is not working well (lag a lot)

  • Are my files distributed along the p2p network?

It depends on how your DHT replicates.
You can see it

ipfs swarm peers
ipfs bootstrap list

and control it to give your ipfs swarm data consistency

  • Iā€™ve added files before running the daemon, and they donā€™t appear in the WebUI, why?

You find your ā€œcommand line added filesā€ in Files and repository in Companion

  • How can I list all files Iā€™ve already added?

http://127.0.0.1:5001/ipfs/Qmexhq2sBHnXQbvyP2GfUdbnY7HCagH2Mw5vUNSBn2nxip/#/pins
or

ipfs pin ls -q --type recursive
  • IPNS provides a unique address based on your public key, so when I do ipfs public name <ipfs-hash> Iā€™m publishing a single website at my public address, right? Can I have multiple websites?

Each ā€œwebsiteā€ has itā€™s unique hash, so you have to use IPNS to keep changes updated.
